Dark matter-baryons elastic coupling
David Figueruelo, Florencia Anabella Teppa Pannia
We consider a cosmological model where dark matter and baryons interact via a pure momentum transfer. We present the foundations of the interaction and derive its main equations. I…
Late-time Background Constraints on Linear and Non-linear Interacting Dark Energy after DESI DR2
David Figueruelo, Marcel van der Westhuizen, Amare Abebe +1
In this study, we present observational constraints on a class of phenomenological interacting dark energy (IDE) models that admit analytical solutions for the Hubble parameter $H(…
Non-linear structure formation with elastic interactions in the dark sector
Jose Beltrán Jiménez, David Figueruelo, David F. Mota +1
Cosmological models where dark matter interacts with dark energy via a pure momentum transfer and with no energy exchange (i.e. elastic) provide compelling scenarios for addressing…
Compartmentalization in the Dark Sector of the Universe after DESI DR2 BAO data
Marcel van der Westhuizen, David Figueruelo, Rethabile Thubisi +3
We consider a non-linear interaction between the dark matter and dark energy components of the universe. In particular, within the FLRW geometry, where dark matter is described by…
On Evidence for Elastic Interactions in the Dark Sector
Jose Beltrán Jiménez, Dario Bettoni, David Figueruelo +1
The increasing quality of cosmological data has revealed some tensions that could be signalling the necessity of incorporating new physics into our cosmological model. One particul…
